Azure Policy blocks unscoped blob lifecycle rules

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Azure Blob Storage lifecycle rules without filters can accidentally delete or transition all blobs in an account. A new Azure Policy definition denies creation of such unfiltered rules, preventing costly mistakes. The policy targets storage account management policies and checks for missing prefixMatch or blobIndexMatch filters.

This is a practical guardrail for DevOps teams, but the real fix is better default behavior from Azure itself.
